A/N: Obviously, this is the Tokiya/Otoya installment, which I convienantly placed on Tokiya's birthday~ ;D Also, I'd like to add that this is obviously set a few years after they graduate and are performing as STARISH with Haruka.

Summary: Otoya throws a birthday bash for Tokiya's twenty-first.


Birthday
Noun
The anniversary of a birth.


A bright arrangement of streamers and balloons cluttered along the ceiling of one Ichinose Tokiya's apartment in celebration of his twenty-first birthday, much to Ittoki Otoya's glee. A select group of friends crowded the home, most from their group known as STARISH, and chatted while casually swaying to the music and one or more person occasionally belting out the lyrics (usually Otoya or Shou).

In the midst of all the strobe lights set up by Ren, Tokiya sat calmly on his leather couch, his face and body being lit up to the colors that each member of STARISH wore. As much as he was enjoying the company of his friends, he had just gone through a long day of work of composing with Haruka and wasn't used to having a party of any sort being held in his honor. Therefore, while his tired eyes were pleading to get rest, Tokiya kept them open simply to allow his eyes to linger on Otoya as he joked and laughed with Natsuki in the obnoxious way they did.

At one point, Otoya's eyes drifted to the gaze set on him and a sly smile spread contagiously as it took him no time to stride over and plop down on the couch next to Tokiya. Leaning heavily against Tokiya and nuzzling his neck with his fiery hair, Otoya closed his eyes and asked, "Having fun?"

"As much as I'm going to have," Tokiya mumbled in response and kissed the top of Otoya's head.

A light laugh came from Otoya as he grinned and replied, "Well, happy birthday."
